Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

The beauty of April in this world is gone,

The peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom.

However, this April is the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and the flowers in Yanjing are still blooming in April of the solar calendar.

Begonias in the Yuan Dynasty City Wall Ruins Park, tulips in the National Botanical Garden, and in Pinggu, the International Peach Blossom Festival will be held from mid-April to May.

Today is the weekend, and Yu Dongqing and the four of them have made an appointment to go for an outing in Pinggu to see the peach blossoms. Of course, more importantly, they will go fishing in Jinhai Lake.

Originally, Yu Dongqing wanted to go to Hangzhou to drink tea by the West Lake, but thinking that during this period of time, she was very busy decorating the newly bought courtyard house, buying furniture, electrical appliances, etc., but she came all the way there. It seems inappropriate to go to Hangzhou for a leisurely trip.

next year.

Why.

I haven’t been to Hangzhou for two years in a row. Every time I want to go, something always stops me.

Therefore, when people do things in this life, many things are out of their control.

So Liu Yimin suggested going to Pinggu to enjoy the peach blossoms and go fishing. He could go back and forth in one day without wasting time. Yu Dongqing went happily.

Jinhai Lake is located to the east of Pinggu City. It is surrounded by green mountains and covered with red and pink peach blossoms. It looks very spectacular.

Sitting by the lake and fishing, there is a peach forest not far behind, with peach blossoms blooming, and I feel happy.

Looking at all this, Zhang Yang couldn't help but recite the ancient poem of Cui Hu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.

Last year, today, in this door, the faces of people and peach blossoms reflected each other's red.

The human face has gone nowhere, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze. "

"What? Which beautiful girl do you miss?" Liu Yimin joked.

"Dede's son is about to marry a wife, who else dares to think about a girl?" Zhang Yang replied, and then looked at Yu Dongqing: "It's Dongqing who is so awesome, he married Mingliang, his sister-in-law, the big girl Huanghua!"

"Look at your envy, why don't you marry your sister-in-law?" Du Hui also interjected, joking.

"It's a pity that I don't have a sister-in-law, I only have a sister-in-law, and I'm going to be a grandma this year," Zhang Yang sighed.

Everyone laughed after hearing this.

Yu Dongqing knew that if he married Meimei, he would definitely be teased by these buddies. In this case, it was best to shut up.

So he pretended not to hear anything and pretended to fish.

"Hey, Dongqing, I heard that Meimei is busy packing up her new house and buying furniture. Why don't you go and help?" Liu Yimin asked.

This needs to be answered.

"It's best to do this kind of thing alone. If two people disagree, it's easy to quarrel, which makes everyone unhappy."

"That makes sense." Du Hui said.

"Ke Yao and I had a quarrel about decorating the house and buying furniture. In the end, the decoration was done according to my opinions. Even now, Ke Yao is not happy sometimes when talking about it."

"So I am self-aware." Yu Dongqing smiled.

"Hey, have you guys gone to Dongqing's new courtyard house? I went to see it. It's so majestic and beautiful. I was so moved when I saw it, I also want to buy a place to live there." Zhang Yang added.

"Then buy it. It's not like Boss Zhang has no money." Liu Yimin chuckled.

"Don't laugh at me. I'm not as wealthy as Dongqing. It's really difficult for me to come up with eighty or ninety million in cash at once." Zhang Yang was honest.

"But I will be able to use it soon! Not only me, but you, Yimin and Du Hui can also use it!"

"Why should the Yimin family buy another courtyard house when they already live in it?" Du Hui said, "As for me,... I can't afford it."

"Haha, Du Hui, you forgot, we invested in this movie made by Dongqing, and it will be released soon! The profit will be huge!"

"oh?"

Seeing that both Liu Yimin and Du Hui were interested, Zhang Yang threw away the fishing rod and said:

"I did some calculations. The Spring Festival box office of "The Swordsman" made by Jia Chuang's Liu Shaojun was 1.4 billion, and the box office of Lu Yongru's "Heaven Slaying the Dragon" was as high as 2 billion. I went to both movies. Look, damn it!”

"What are those things they took pictures of?"

"Our "Swordsman" has a box office of at least 3 billion, right? According to the normal box office revenue, one third of the box office revenue is calculated as a net profit of 1 billion, leaving aside the contractual share of Mingli, Dongqing, and Li Wanwen. 1% of net profit, that’s 970 million yuan left.”

"The total investment for this film is 110 million yuan. I invested 5 million yuan, accounting for 4.5%, which is about 44 million yuan! It is still possible to buy a smaller courtyard house if you make do."

Du Hui also calculated in his mind. He invested 4 million, so he could get 35 million, plus personal income tax. If he added in the income in the past few years, he could also buy a smaller courtyard house.

However, he doesn't like courtyard houses very much, and prefers high-end residences. He can buy a large commercial house with a better environment within the third ring road without any problems.

Liu Yimin invested 4.5 million, but that was not what he was thinking about.

"Zhang Yang, why do you say that this movie will definitely reach a box office of 3 billion? There are so many martial arts movies, but none of them have reached a box office of 3 billion!"

"I firmly believe that this film will definitely achieve it!" Zhang Yang said with determination.

Liu Yimin still shook his head.

Of course he hopes the movie will be a big hit, but it will only cost 3 billion

That's not a small amount.

Lu Yongru's "Heaven and Dragon Sword" has a box office of 2 billion, which has set a historical precedent for martial arts films. Is it possible that "The Swordsman" can even increase that by half?

"Yimin, you overlooked one thing." Du Hui said.

"What?"

"You haven't considered the box office of this film in Hong Kong and Wanwan, or even overseas. Where there are Chinese people, they love to watch martial arts. If you add these places, I think it can reach 3 billion."

At this point, Du Hui turned to Yu Dongqing and asked: "Dongqing, I heard Li Wan said that Huanyu Film and Television in Xiangjiang and Feihong Film and Television in Wanwan have contacted him? Do you want to represent this movie?"

Du Hui and the others are considered one of the investors, so of course they should know about this kind of thing.

Yu Dongqing nodded after hearing this.

"Yes, it's just preliminary contact, and the specific matters haven't been started yet. The other party will wait for the film to be released to evaluate it before formal negotiations."

"Haha, they are right, but when the time comes we have to wait for the price, and it won't be just these two companies that compete for the agency rights, right?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"of course"

Yu Dongqing didn't take this matter to heart, that was what Li Wan had to consider.

That is a cunning old fox, and he will never suffer in this regard.

It’s just that the three billion they said. If it is added to Jiangwanwan and overseas, it should be more than that, right?

Yu Dongqing thought leisurely.

It's 9 a.m. on April 21, and there are still 13 hours before "The Swordsman" will be staged in the early morning of the 22nd. The pre-sale box office of "The Swordsman" movie on all major platforms has reached 1 billion!

Moreover, tickets for the first show in major theaters in Yanjing, Xi'an, Guangzhou and other cities were sold out in the early morning!

Many viewers couldn't buy tickets!

Zhuo Qun is one of them.
